Remember your company's SOP's and be technically and tactically proficient. Know the jobs of those above you and be able to train every job of those below you.

Take care of your soldiers like they are your family. Train, discipline, and be fair to them. Treat them as people first, respect them as humans. Inspect what you expect, teach what you expect, pass on all your knowledge and make them better than you.
Do that and they'll follow you through hell covered in gasoline. After that, everything else is easy.

Don't forget where you came from and don't take crap from the ones that used to be your peers. They need to understand that you lead now. But don't be a dick about it.
